A literary cornerstone of feminist thought, A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf is both a fierce argument and a poetic meditation on creativity, gender, and independence. With wit, clarity, and philosophical depth, Woolf imagines the plight of “Judith Shakespeare,” a fictional sister to the Bard, and examines the cultural, economic, and institutional barriers that stifled female genius for centuries. More than a call for a literal room and financial independence, this groundbreaking work invites readers to reimagine the conditions necessary for any individual—especially women—to fully express their intellectual and artistic potential.
